          They gave us everything that we wanted.
          Everything went exactly how it listed on the listing. The drive was long but definitely worth doing! Both our driver and tour guide were very nice.

          Amazing experience with some great company
          This tour was incredible! So much packed into one day. We had the amazing Saicy as our tour guide and Angelo as our driver, and they were so friendly and helpful. We especially loved the whale shark portion, as well as the sea turtles and sardine runs later in the day in moalboal. For the price, we definitely got our moneys worth. Highly recommend, thank you Saicy and Angelo!!

          Love Cebu city tours professionalism
          Our driver Dino and tour guide Edith from Cebu city tours were excellent. They took us back and forth the long drive from Cebu to oslob very safely. Edith secured our belongings and didn’t have to worry about anything but to enjoy the activities. We surely had an excellent time and made lots of memories. The whale sharks and the scoop of sardines and island hopping experience was worth the money. It was so much fun!

          Snorkeling with whale sharks
          Seeing the whale sharks up close was incredible! They are such majestic and graceful creatures! A lot of people were there but I still felt the whole experience was respectful to the animals, and the whale sharks did not appear distressed in any way. Tumalog falls were incredible!! Could have stayed there all day!

          NOT a Tour. Two steps above a scam.
          How this package managed to be listed as featured on Trip Advisor is beyond me. This is NOT a tour. It would be accurate to describe this as a self-service day trip with a driver; the company will just charge you (in my case as a solo traveler) 2.5 times the cost of actually hiring the driver, add the word "tour", and pocket the difference. It is two steps above a scam. You will be given no context on where you are going and why it significant, unless you do self-service research beforehand, because when you're dropped off at each site there is no tour guides there, either, and most of the sites do not have any preamble describing why they matter. I don't know about you, but I come to Trip Advisor specifically when I do not know the place and want a tour to give me context. If I wanted a private driver to go to a list of places that I have to do research on myself, I would just find that on my own. This package does not belong on Trip Advisor, as it actively subverts what you'd expect out of a tour package listed here. At the minimum, the with-tour-guide option should be the default, not an extra hidden option that you only discover after it's too late to make any changes. My money is already spent (wasted) on this package, but you, my friend, can save yours by skipping on this.

          Fantastic tour with great tour operator!
          Our tour was fantastic from start to finish. It covered all of the sites we wanted to see on Cebu. Our driver Melchor was friendly and knowledgeable, and our tour guide Noel in Oslob & Sumilon was very helpful and flexible. We added a scuba dive at the Moalboal tuna run which was fantastic. I highly recommend this company.

          Whale sharks, sardines, and sea turtles
          Long day from Lapu-Lapu with pick up at 3:30 am and drop off at 8 pm. Titing did an amazing job driving and was very friendly and accommodating. Ellen did a great job coordinating for the whale sharks, breakfast, and lunch in Oslob and even added a side tour to Tumalog Falls since we had a bit of a wait for the whale sharks. Falls were beautiful. Whale sharks were amazing. Probably over 10 whale sharks up close and great pictures with the GoPro we used from Cebu Tours. Follow on trip to Pescador was good. First stop at sardine run was interesting with the big school of sardines. We also saw 2 turtles there. Next stop was at Pescador island coral reef. Not the best reef but still a good amount of fish to see. Overall great trip and Cebu Tours did a wonderful job corresponding promptly throughout the process.

          Exceptional customer service
          So I don’t usually write reviews but the experience and customer service we received was exceptional. We are currently on our honeymoon and have travelled with our toddler who is 1 year and 11 months. The tour itself was stunning and an unforgettable experience, everything flowed smoothly and taken care of and all we had to do was have fun and make memories. However, it was our driver & tour guides who made this tour a truly unforgettable experience. Our driver Abam was so polite, respectful, and truly kind hearted, we thank you for his efforts. Our tour guide in Oslob was Saicy (apologies if I spelt this wrong) and she went above and beyond for us and we are truly grateful. She looked after our little boy for us so we could enjoy the whale shark diving together (something we thought we couldn’t do due to our toddler) so we are truly grateful for this. Our tour guide in Kawasan falls was so friendly, kind and helpful, apologies I forgot his name! But he took the most stunning photos of us as a family at the falls which happen to be one of my favourites of all time. These 3 people made our trip unforgettable and you are a real asset to the Cebu Tours team. I already cannot wait to come back to book another tour! I will be recommending this company to anyone who looks to book a tour!

          Very good, but can be improved
          The day trip was enjoyable overall, but there are areas that could be enhanced. Firstly, the itinerary overlooked informing us about the church's dress code, which unfortunately led to us missing the visit. Providing this information beforehand would have been beneficial for our preparedness. Secondly, despite pre-booking a vegetarian meal for my wife, we encountered difficulty in locating a restaurant that catered to this dietary preference. It was evident that the guide was not adequately prepared for this. Despite these shortcomings, the trip was pleasant, and we would recommend it. With minor adjustments, this experience could be flawless.

          Unforgettable tour!
          Excellent tour. As a couple, we were privately from Cebu City to the south. Swim with the sharks has been one of my best life experiences. We really loved the shining tiny island in front of the shark and the huge Tumalog falls. Simar, the driver arrived on time and gave us an pleasant trip go and back. Diane the tour guide showed us everything and she was full time offered to help us and give us few tips about the island. 101% recommend.

          Raw & Awesome
          No gimmicks, just straight fun to perhaps the best underwater snorkeling visuals I have ever seen, who knew snorkeling in the Philippines was do good, I didn't. First off, my driver/guide was Simar, a great guy. Took me to the boat, three people working the boat took me to the first island, handed me my mask/snorkeling and I jumped in. Wow, the most fish ever surrounded me including big green beautiful Parrotfish. Snorkeling at the second island was just a wonderful. The third island is white sandy beach and relax before lunch. It was a great day. This tour is not fancy, the boat is not modern, in fact a piece of the bamboo support came loose during a wavy ride back but all was good, just seemed all like the Philippino way; raw but fun.

          Exciting whale sharks and sardine run under crystal clear water in Cebu
          Early pick up from Hotel, 330am on 7th Dec to Oslob for whale sharks viewing and we have priority access to boat due to senior status. Nice and helpful boatmen who help to care for us and did video on the encounter with sharks. Tamalog falls is not so great and water not clear but the bike to and fro the falls was exciting, faster to reach the falls. They charged 50 peso for return but safety was compromised as no helmets provided. After early lunch provided around 1030h, we travelled to Moalboal for our trip to Pescador island for snorkeling for corals, fishes, sea horses and star fishes. Then headed for beachfront to view sardines run and turtle near shore.
